As you probably know, San Fran Voice has ben quieter than usual because my book deadline is eating up so much of my time. But that doesn’t mean that we should all be going without information about the city and the things that are happening in it. So, here’s your chance to shine.

The Bay Area explodes this weekend with The Atomic Love Bombs, the Privies and Mistress & The Misters on Friday in San Jose and on Sunday in San Francisco. One talented patron will WIN THE NEW IPOD NANO at the San Francisco show only for taking the best photo of any of these three bands.
The Atomic Love Bombs have been described as “Poster Children for the Revolution.” They have been together since 2005 and are made up of former members of Pain, Buddha Jones, Jello Moon Shot and My Cousin Mary. Their first EP, Let It Burn, due out later this summer on Polish Pope Records, is a blend of melody and noise reminiscent of bands like The Velvet Underground, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and, more recently, Pavement and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Their music can be heard at http://www.myspace.com/atomiclovebombs
Newcomers, the Privies are the result of what might happen if Neil Diamond, Angus Young, Elvis and Mike Ness of Social Distortion formed an all original new band in the 21st century. They will make you reminisce of old school rock bands like R.E.M, Sublime, AC/DC and the Rolling Stones in their own unique and original way modernized for the new millennium. Their music can be heard at http://www.myspace.com/privies
Mistress & The Misters are on tour from Spokane, Washington. “Catchy dance-pop meets rock. The pop funk of Red Hot Chili Peppers meets Giant Drag… with a few twists and turns here and there with lots of notes jumping up and dancing around and on top of an overwhelmingly large, but spontaneously fun conflagration of burning coals.” –J. Doodle Lipscomb, The Lab International, 2/07. Their music can be heard at http://www.myspace.com/mistressandthemisters
